The follow to following ratio on twitter

There is no such strict rule that you must maintain this ratio but it is preferable that you do so. It's simple. Always make sure there are more people following you than the number of people you follow. When you see someone following a huge number of people but with only a few followers, the first thought that comes to mind is, the person is a spammer. If you see someone with the same number of followers as the number of followees then you get the feeling that this person follows almost everyone who follows him/her.It is a good idea to have maintain the balance.



So, what would be a good ratio.  would be 1:2, i.e. following half the number of people of those who follow you. It doesn't have to be strictly that way. You can choose to have it 1:3 or anything else, but do remember that you do need to follow people to make them aware of your presence on Twitter, or else no one would follow you. Just don't follow too many. Also, you don't have to do this but it makes you more appealing, increasing your the chances of getting more followers.
